Russian forces suffered their deadliest day since the start of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine for the second day in a row, according to figures released by Kyiv on Nov. 12
According to the General Staff of Ukraine's Armed Forces, Moscow's troops lost 1,950 men over the preceding day.
This surpasses the previous record of 1,770 set just the day before. The total figure stands at 712,610.
The figures do not specify killed or wounded, though the overall consensus is that it includes dead, wounded, missing, and captured. They are broadly in line with estimates from Western nations.
The surge in losses comes as Russian forces step up pressure across the front lines.
NATO allies believe that Russian President Vladimir Putin is aiming to recapture territory lost to Ukraine in Kursk Oblast before Donald Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20.
A British defense intelligence assessment, seen by The Telegraph, warns that Russia is likely to intensify kamikaze drone attacks on Ukrainian positions, using new launch sites near the border.
In a bid to regain control, Russia has deployed 50,000 troops, including soldiers from North Korea, to the Kursk region.
Ukraine's Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi said that as"tens of thousands of enemy soldiers from the best Russian shock units" are aiming to push Ukrainian forces out of the Russian enclave, raising concerns of a significant escalation in the war.

In the south of Ukraine, Vladyslav Voloshyn, Ukrainian military's Southern Command spokesperson, told Reuters on Nov. 11 that Russian assaults in Zaporizhzhia Oblast could begin "any day."
In early October, Russian troops reportedly renewed their attack in the Zaporizhzhia sector. Kyiv warned of a potential Russian push in the southern region, just as Moscow's troops continue advancing in Ukraine's east.
According to Voloshyn, Russia is also deploying trained assault groups to advance in Zaporizhzhia Oblast. They are preparing to attack, he added.
"(The assaults) could begin in the near future, we're not even talking about weeks, we're expecting it to happen any day," the spokesperson said.
Ukraine's military intelligence said that Russia was planning to use armored vehicles and a significant number of drones, Voloshyn said, although it is not yet clear whether this will be a single offensive push or separate attacks.
"They are preparing both armored groups and light vehicles — buggies, motorcycles — to conduct these assault operations," he added.
And in the east of Ukraine, Russia's grinding advances continue.
Over autumn, large chunks of Ukrainian territory, sometimes including entire cities, have been lost on a near-daily basis in southern Donetsk Oblast, while Russian forces have also made operationally significant gains near Toretsk, Chasiv Yar, Kupiansk, as well as on their own soil in Kursk Oblast.
Russia's increasing pressure on Ukrainian positions is coming at a huge cost — the number of Russian troops injured and killed last month averaged 1,500 "every single day," U.K. Defence Staff Chief Admiral Anthony Radakin told the BBC on Nov. 10.
This is higher than the previous figure presented by the U.K. Defense Minister John Healey, who told The Telegraph on Nov. 8 that Russia suffered 41,980 killed and wounded during October- a daily average of 1,354.
Russia is sacrificing high numbers of troops for “tiny increments of land,” Radakin told the BBC.
However, he added that Russia is making “tactical, territorial gains,” and “putting pressure on Ukraine" amid a heavy offensive.
The 47th Separate Mechanized Brigade repelled a large-scale assault by russian troops in the Kursk region. The occupiers lost 10 armored vehicles and suffered significant losses in manpower.
The situation in the kursk region is difficult but under control. Yesterday, the russian invaders failed in their assault. This was stated by Anastasia Blyshchyk, a public relations officer of the 47th separate mechanized brigade, during a telethon, UNN reports.
The situation is difficult (in the Kursk region – ed.), but it is under control and there is nothing critical for the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
– Blyshchik said.
Blyshchyk noted that November 11 was a "black" day for the russian occupiers.
Yesterday was indeed a "black" day for the russian occupiers, who tried to assault in 5-6 assaults. That is, they tried to "fly in" with troops and storm settlements. However, 10 units of armored vehicles were destroyed by the soldiers of the 47th Separate Mechanized Brigade. In particular, three armored personnel carriers exploded on mines, other vehicles were destroyed by FPV drones and Stugna ATGMs
– Blyshchyk said.
She also said that russian invaders were eliminated.
The part that was lucky enough to survive scattered and hid somewhere in the plantations. That is, yesterday there was a failed assault by the russian occupiers
– Blyshchyk said.

U.S. media reports suggest that Trump spoke with Putin after the presidential election, cautioning the Russian leader against escalating the war, particularly with the addition of North Korean troops and supplies to the Russian military effort.
The Kremlin’s actions may also signal an attempt to build momentum for a larger offensive into Ukraine’s northeastern Sumy Oblast. Ukrainian analysts noted that Russia has already reclaimed roughly half of the territory it lost in its Kursk incursion which began in early August.
In a show of solidarity, U.K. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer met with French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris to discuss Ukraine’s defense strategy. Downing Street confirmed that both nations are working to position Ukraine strongly as it faces the challenges of winter.
Western diplomats are cautioning that Putin may be acting swiftly to capture territory before Trump assumes office, hoping to gain leverage in future peace negotiations. While the Kremlin has denied reports of a conversation between Trump and Putin, U.S. media outlets have confirmed that the two leaders spoke, with Putin congratulating Trump on his election win and calling him "courageous."
President Volodymyr Zelensky has cautiously welcomed Trump’s victory, urging the incoming president to maintain military support for Ukraine in the coming months.

North Korea has formalized a mutual defense treaty with Russia, according to state media reports on Nov. 12. The agreement commits both nations to come to each other's aid in the event of an armed attack.
The announcement follows reports of first clashes between the Ukrainian Armed Forces and North Korean soldiers stationed in Russia’s border region of Kursk.
North Korea’s KCNA news agency confirmed that Kim Jong Un ratified the treaty as a decree. “The treaty will take effect from the day when both sides exchanged the ratification instruments,” KCNA reported.
Russian lawmakers unanimously approved the treaty last week, and President Vladimir Putin signed it into law. The agreement, signed in June during Putin’s visit to Pyongyang, mandates immediate military assistance by either nation in the event of an attack.
North Korean Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui, during her recent visit to Moscow, expressed solidarity with Russia, saying that Pyongyang would stand with Russia "until the day of victory."
South Korea, Ukraine, and Western nations have accused North Korea of deploying approximately 10,000 troops to support Russia’s war effort. Western governments have also alleged that Pyongyang has supplied Moscow with artillery shells and missiles for use in Ukraine.
The G7 nations last week denounced the increasing military cooperation between North Korea and Russia. They voiced concerns that North Korean soldiers might receive training in the use of ballistic missiles, which would violate UN Security Council resolutions.

Ukrainian soldiers are holding off nearly 50,000 troops in Russia's embattled Kursk Oblast, President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Nov. 11.
Zelensky's statement came a day after The New York Times reported that Moscow is preparing to launch an offensive in Kursk Oblast with a force of 50,000 soldiers, both Russian and North Korean.
Russia has also deployed thousands of North Korean troops in the embattled region, with some reportedly already clashing with Ukraine in small-scale engagements. Around 11,000 North Korean soldiers were stationed in Kursk Oblast as of Nov. 4.
Kyiv launched the surprise offensive into Kursk Oblast in August, with Russian forces have managed to reclaim around half of the territory initially lost.
The Kursk incursion was also intended to preempt a Russian plan to invade Sumy Oblast to create a "buffer zone" in Ukraine's north and draw Russian forces away from Donetsk Oblast, where Moscow keeps steadily advancing, the Ukrainian military said.
According to Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi, Russian forces have suffered 7,905 soldiers killed, 12,220 injured, and 717 captured during the three months of the Kursk offensive.
Zelensky has previously said that if Ukraine had permission to use Western long-range weapons against targets deep inside Russia, it could preemptively target "every camp" in Russia where North Korean troops are gathering.

A group of refugees from North Korea handed over leaflets and audio to Ukraine containing calls for the defection of the North Korean military, as well as instructions on how to do so. This is reported by Yonhap, UNN reports.
Details
It is noted that the propaganda leaflets were handed over to the Ukrainian Embassy in Seoul by the "Refugee Propaganda Corps", which includes former North Korean soldiers who defected to South Korea and those whose sons served in the DPRK army .
These leaflets are intended to be distributed to North Korean soldiers in Russia. They contain messages encouraging them to defect, as well as instructions on how to do so. Civil society activists have also passed on audio files with messages of the same content.
The North Korean defectors plan to hand over the same propaganda materials to the Ukrainian military in Brussels, along with a letter calling for the use of psychological warfare against DPRK soldiers.
The letter emphasizes that the Ukrainian military can ensure mass surrender and desertion of North Korean soldiers if they manage to launch a proactive psychological warfare.
